CATWALK MOMENT
No great surprise that Zac Posen called upon Coco Rocha to close his autumn/winter 2013 show in New York last night. The pair are the best of friends and his show has become one of the only Fashion Week dates that will tempt Rocha from near catwlk retirement. Posen even designed the supermodel's wedding dress. Bless.

BEST IN FROW
With the most suave of side-partings, and nestling between press heavyweights Suzy Menkes and Anna Wintour, dashing David Beckham took in his wife Victoria's fashion show. Keeping his kit firmly on for the occasion
(unlike in his new H&M ads),
the 37-year-old footballer was seen rushing around after the couple's 19-month-old daughter, Harper, backstage.

FROW-VER HEARD...EXCUSE ME MR GALLIANO?
Fashion design students listen up; John Galliano could your new teacher. The disgraced former Dior designer is reportedly looking to become a mentor at a top fashion college.

TALKING LIBERTY:
Liberty Ross was in attendance at Alexander Wang's show yesterday, although this time she was sat FROW instead of taking to the catwalk. The Brit model, who has just filed for divorce from her husband following his affair with Kristen Stewart, spoke to the
Associated Press
about how she's coping. "[I'm] just really keeping my head down ... just listening to my heart is the most important thing right now," she said. "It's all about my kids." We're definitely Team Liberty.

RE-MODELLED:
CARA DELEVINGNE
Talking of Cara, Sunday was a busy day for Britain's busiest catwalk export, who was made over four different ways.

STREET STYLISTAS
The key accessory to be seen with on New York's fashion circuit? A good old woolly beanie. Pluck a feather, think pink or play it safe with a simple furry number like the layered-up fashionista on the left. How cool is Miroslava Duma's block coloured coat too? Bonus sartorial points for keeping the tailoring sharp underneath.

BEAUTY MOMENT
THAKOON
The clip in 'winge' has made it back to the runway at
Thakoon
as half the face framer it used to be (just covering one side of your forehead) and this time around in an unashamed version of its former self. This fake fringe wasn't about passing it off as your own, because with a mis-matching hair colour and a definite seam, the subtlety we're used to went bang.
